2017 (and 2015, 2013)

For Visual Studio 2017 a ready-to-use solution is provided. It contains:

• hermes - source code of the hermes library

• build - folder containing the property sheets for the projects

• hermes.sln - the solution file that contains the hermes projects mentioned above

• license folder - the licenses in pdf formats (German and English versions of private/scientific and commercial licenses)

To use the provided solution:

• Open the solution $HDIR\hermes\hermes.sln with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.

• [optional] In order to use hermes with C++03 support, you need to build hermes with the preprocessor macro SX_CPP03_BOOST set and also provide paths to the boost headers and libraries in the project settings (see instructions below).

• Choose the configuration you want to build hemres for and build the project.
  The available default configurations are:

  • Debug - VS 2017

  • Debug - VS 2015

  • Release - VS 2017

  • Release - VS 2015

  • Debug C++03

  • Release C++03

• [optional] If you want to use hermes with C++03, you have to configure where Boost is located on your system. If you only want to use the hermes library with C++11 you can omit this step.
  Change BOOST path in the property sheet 'use_boost'

  • Go to 'Property Manager'

  • open property sheet 'use_boost'

  • Go to 'User Macros'

  • set BOOST_PATH and BOOST_LIB_PATH accordingly to your system. BOOST_PATH needs to points to the directory containing boost include folder and BOOST_LIB_PATH needs to point to the directory containing the boost libraries.

  • Press 'OK' to save the changes.

• Build the solution hermes or the hermes library project

• The default output location is the folder $HDIR\hermes\$(Platform)\$(Config).

After the build the hermes library can be integrated into your projects.
